New York University Press Vegas Brews
Book SynopsisAn inside look at how craft beer makers and IPA devotees come together to brew, taste, and enjoy fine ale while also building a sense of community in Las Vegas Equally reviled and revered as Sin City, Las Vegas is both exceptional and emblematic of contemporary American cultural practices and tastes. Michael Ian Borer takes us inside the burgeoning Las Vegas craft beer scene to witness how its adherents use beer to create and foster not just a local culture but a locals' culture. Through compelling, detailed first-hand accounts and interviews, Vegas Brews provides an unprecedented look into the ways that brewers, distributors, bartenders, and drinkers fight against the perceived and preconceived norm about what happens in Vegas and lay claim to a part of their city that is too often overshadowed by the bright lights of tourist sites. Borer shows how our interactions with the things we care aboutand the ways that we care about how they're made, treated, and consumedcan lead to new senseTrade ReviewBorer makes a crucial contribution by drawing attention to the ways people still make places as well, in their day-to-day lives through symbolic engagement with place reputations and their consequences. * American Journal of Sociology *Vegas Brews captures the stories of the emergence of craft brewers within the unique sociology of Las Vegas, cultivating an oasis in the desert for beer drinkers in Nevada. -- Paul Gatza, Director of the Brewers AssociationIs there a place for authenticity in a world of artifice and consumerism? Focusing on the microbrewery scene in Las Vegas, Michael Ian Borer answers this question by showing us in detail how collaboration, craftsmanship, skill, honor, and place-making coexist side by side. Rich in ethnographic detail, Vegas Brews is a great contribution to the study of how culture can shape the city landscape, and how cities, in turn, can shape culture. -- Claudio E. Benzecry, author of The Opera Fanatic: Ethnography of an ObsessionThis is a commendable text that will be indispensable to anyone researching urban redevelopment, consumption, brewing, or the role of community and scene in cultural production and innovation. It should also be on every ethnographic research methods reading list. * Symbolic Interaction *

Historic England Built to Brew: The History and heritage of the
Book SynopsisBeer has been brewed in England since Neolithic times, and this book combines a thoroughly enjoyable exploration of beer’s history and built heritage with new in-depth research into the nuts and bolts of its production. Based around England’s breweries, but occasionally ranging further afield, it tells the intriguing story of the growth of this significant industry. From Georgian brewing magnates who became household names – and their brewhouses notable tourist attractions – through magnificently ornate Victorian towers to the contemporary resurgence of microbreweries, the text throws new light on brewers and the distinctive architecture of their buildings. Detailed chapters explain what makes a brewery work, revealing the functions of sometimes enormous brewing vessels, the astonishing skills of coppersmiths and engineers, the work of heroic mill horses and the innovative steam engines which replaced them. The wider context of the brewing industry is also investigated, bringing out the breadth of the `beerscape’, including those buildings put up with brewing profits such as the original Shakespeare Memorial Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon. A brewery index allows readers to find which sites are extant and can still be visited. Traditional working breweries are to be treasured and celebrated, but complementing these, the book looks to the future, considering constructive redevelopment as part of our national brewing heritage. This fascinating and lavishly illustrated work shows how deeply interwoven beer and brewing are within English culture. If you care about beer, industry or England, this book is for you.

WW Norton & Co Mountain Brew: A High-Spirited Guide to
Book SynopsisLong before Heady Topper or Hill Farmstead, Vermont was already at the forefront of the American beer revolution. In the 1970s, the big-name brews like Bud and Coors ruled the roost, and homebrewed beer was still as illegal as moonshine. But a small group of Vermonters—people like Tim Matson and Lee Anne Dorr—weren't the kind to let a little thing like the law stop them from enjoying their own brews. They shared their concoctions with friends and family and then went a step farther: publishing the first homebrewer's guide since Prohibition and selling it out of the back of their truck. Now, forty years later, that groundbreaking book is back. Featuring a brand-new introduction, Mountain Brew shows you how to produce homemade malt, grow your own hops, and keep away thirsty neighbors who want to steal your hooch. Through recipes and colorful stories from their day, let these Green Mountain boys (and girls) show you how to make better beer than you'd ever find at the local watering hole.Trade Review"The homebrew revival has spawned its first new literature, a book that taps brewhouse knowledge and experience." -- New Hampshire Times"More like a beer party than a brewing session . . . Mountain Brew packs a variety of recipes for every palate and a potpourri of beer anecdotes. The information is all there." -- The Advocate"A slim classic. . . . Even before celebrity craft brewers came along, the hills of Vermont held earnest homebrewers who tackled lagers and ales with vigor. The strangely enchanting little tome offers a glimpse into that world. . . . It might not be the definitive guide to homebrewing, but it’s a sweet keepsake of another age." -- Seven Days"Set aside your dog-eared copy of The Complete Joy of Homebrewing. Eight years earlier—and two before the legalization of homebrewing—a merry band of Vermont homebrewers published their recipes and anecdotes in a slim book call Mountain Brew. There’s more than a touch of rebelliousness in the tone. The homebrewing instructions are a casual narrative, and the ingredients would make a BJCP judge blanch, but the book is a hoot for anyone who wants a glimpse of the cultural origins of this immensely popular hobby. These sound like great folks to have a beer with." -- All About Beer Magazine
